Which of the following is a formula for the friction factor of circular pipes ?

A. 16/Re
B. Re/16
C. Re/64
D. 64/Re

Circular pipes have a diameter treated in a round manner. For a fluid flow which is laminar head loss is directly proportional to the fluid velocity. Thus, friction factor is inversely proportional to its velocity. Therefore, the correct option is ‘64/Re’.
